joining me from washington, general james "spider" marks. from new york, ed hussein, senior fellow for middle eastern studies at the council on foreign relations. welcome to both of you. general marks, i just want to begin with you. we have witnessed more than 100,000 deaths in syria, and thus far we are in, what, year three? pretty much stood on the sidelines. from your per spekctive at a military man why would the use of chemical weapons suddenly tip the balance in the favor of intervention. >> what has been indicated, clearly the use of chemical weapons violates international law. that by itself should at least galvanize the administration and it has, as well as the international community to do something. the problem that we have in syria is is that it's not isolated just to the use of chemical weapons. it's been in the midst of a three-year rebellion, as you've indicated. yet up until this point, we've been satisfied with our position to simply diplomatically and vocally at a time our disapproval. we're at a point now where the presiden

a foreboding front page of "the washington post" today. graham's to sell "the washington post." there it is. it hit our driveway this morning. the graham family owned the post for generations and fought to the hill to defend its independence through the watergate investigation when reporters bob woodward and carl bernstein took down nixon's administration. the grahams had the guts to stand up for their paper and defend that special brand of investigative journalism, which can make you a lot of enemies. but now "the washington post" has a new owner, silicon valley billionaire and amazon.com founder jeff bezos. bezos isn't alone. over the last several years, billionaires have been gobbling up newspapers across the country, from "the wall street journal" to "the boston globe." in some cases, like rupert murdoch's purchase of "the journal," those have pushed a right-wing agenda. the conservative koch brothers are on the hunt to buy up newspapers as well. the question is a pressing one. will the new money have the same guts and drive as the old money or will the papers they buy becom

syria's government blames that violence on the rebels, but in washington, secretary of state john kerry says there is little doubt it is the assad reseem that gassed its own people. >> as a father, i can't get the image out of my head of a man who held up this dead child, wailing while chaos swirled around him. the images of entire families dead in their beds without a drop of blood or even a visible wound. bodies contorting in spasms, human suffering that we can never ignore or forget. >> syria's president is warning washington about military action, though bashar al-assad told a russian newspaper, quote, failure awaits the united states, as in all previous wars it has unleashed. end quote. war weary americans also oppose military intervention. this poll taken last week as first reports emerged of chemical attacks, fewer than 1 in 10 americans support military action. to give you perspective, consider this. according to real clear politics shows congress getting a 15% approval rating. that's nearly double the support for intervention in syria. cnn's chris lawrence is at the pentagon. i

he's an expert on syria at the washington institute for near east policy. also the author of the book "in the lion's den: an eyewitness account of the battle with syria." who is more brutal? the son bashar al assad or the father? because we remember what happened in the early '80s when 20 or 30,000 fellow syrians were slaughtered within a matter of a few days. >> i think they're equally brutal historically. but bashar al assad much more unpredictable than his father. his father was once he said yes to something, you can take that to the bank and build around it. bashar would say yes to everything and turn around and do the opposite. i think that was some of the logic behind the earlier interview we saw there concerning the decision making in killing over 100,000 syrians. >> is he that intelligent, that sophisticated? we know he got the job because of his father. but is he a brilliant guy? or just an average guy that happens to be in this powerful position? >> i think he has average intelligence. i think he's crazy like a fox though. in the end, only by addi
